As of midnight last night, my original Fido phone number is no more. You may remember that I dumped my landline and switched to City Fido last September; that switch also allowed me to liberate my home phone number from the clutches of Bell Canada and use it as my primary means of contact.

Since then my original Fido number has languished, so I finally laid it to rest last night. Anyone wishing to follow in my footsteps will be pleased to know that number portability will be available for everyone later this year.

For now, you can officially wipe 416-893-4945 from your address books. And if you don’t know my new number, that’s probably because I didn’t give it to you… 😛
